Remote Control: Nick Stone, Book 1

Tough, resourceful, ruthless - as an SAS trooper, Nick Stone was one of the best. Now he's back on the streets. After a botched mission, the Regiment no longer want his services. But British Intelligence does - as a deniable operator. It's the dirtiest job in a very, very dirty world. In Washington, DC, it's about to get dirtier still. On the apparently routine tail of two terrorists, he discovers the bodies of an ex-SAS officer and his family. Soon he's on the run with the lone survivor of the bloodbath - a seven-year-old girl.

The Gray Man

Court Gentry is known as The Gray Man - a legend in the covert realm, moving silently from job to job, accomplishing the impossible, and then fading away. And he always hits his target. But there are forces more lethal than Gentry in the world. And in their eyes, Gentry has just outlived his usefulness. Now, he is going to prove that for him, there's no gray area between killing for a living-and killing to stay alive.

Jason Spencer says:"Action packed, edge of your seat "page-turner""

Publisher's Summary

Indonesia, January 2005. Nick Stone is working to retrieve incriminating material from amongst the tsunami-ravaged landscape. His team is attacked, and a man dies - but not before he makes an agonising promise that will return one day to haunt him.

Moscow, March 2011. Semi-retired but restless, Stone finds him at the centre of a mission that leads him from the Alpine enclaves of the super-rich to the savage underbelly of war-torn Somalia. The fuse is lit, and Stone is hurtled into his most complex and compelling mission yet.

The story is great, but the narrator is driving me MAD, why O why was he picked, he is reading it as if he is talking down to you and we are all idiots, and the WORST THING OF ALL, WHY does he have an up inflection at the end of every line ITS DRIVING ME MAD, PLEASE ANDY, if you read this, DONT USE HIM AGAIN PLEASE, Ruined a great Book.

"One of his best"

Where does Dead Centre rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book is awesome! Has to be one of the best books I've listened too despite not overly enjoying this narrator when he's read some other mcnab books. This one was much better and the story sucked me in and kept me hooked right the way to the end.

Any additional comments?

This has to be one of mcnabs best books along side remote control and red notice amongst others.

"Great book, terrible narrator"

I agree with the other reviewer... please do not use this narrator again. If he narrates future Andy McNab books, then I, for one, will not be buying them. Bring back Clive Mantle, who had the correct levels of vehemence and crudity when required, quiet and tender when that was called for. This guy just doesn't have the Nick Stone character right at all. Like Dick Van Dyke as a cockney in Mary Poppoins, he is just mis-cast.

"Amazing adventure as always!"

I'm an Andy McNab fan through and through but this is the first time I've tried an audio version. In fact, this it's the first audio book I've ever listened to. Now I'm hooked!The twelve hours flew by on this non stop adventure. Paul Thornley brought all the characters to life. It actually felt like I was right there with Nick every step of the way. I couldn't imagine anyone else doing a better job.I've no complaints on the story either. It's another addictive read (or listen). As usual, I was gripped from start to finish - probably more so thanks to the narration.I can't recommend this book enough! I've just bought the audio version of the next book!

"Wow!"

Would you consider the audio edition of Dead Centre to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the book but the Audio version is excellent.

Have you listened to any of Paul Thornley’s other performances? How does this one compare?

He's always fantastic. He IS NICK STONE :)

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was gripped in suspense right throughout his trip to Africa. Absolutely wonderful.

Any additional comments?

This is one of my favourites with an epic, yet ever so slightly unbelievable finale.

"Gripping as usual!"

I cannot get enough of Andy McNab's books. I work as a window cleaner and listen to audio books all day. This is the latest of his audio books I have listened to and I managed to finish it in 2 days. It is awesome. as with all of his Nick Stone books, it grips you from start to finish and as usual there is always an unexpected twist. First class!

"A cut above"

Would you listen to Dead Centre again? Why?

Yes. As usual with Andy's books, you often miss bits of info the first time round that you may spot the second.

What does Paul Thornley bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The best narrator in the game. He makes these books as great as they are.

Any additional comments?

I learn so much from these books of Andy's, particularly in the Nick Stone series. The intelligence and creativity of this elite army solider has me at awe at every turn in this series. They are quite simply my most enjoyable books, probably of all time, and I can't get enough of them. Audible need to change the abridged versions that they have to unabridged, as you can't really follow the storyline, they are way too short and often miss out important bits of info to the plot.

A great listen, fantastic narration and superb storyline, as ever. Let there never be an end to the Nick Stone saga!
